Since you must have spoken to "the majority of competant Debian users" to know this...
Could you write up a report of exactly what they said please it would be very
helpful. Or point to the report you read and "quoted"? If not, then stop with
the lies and the FUD.

You seem to think that you wont be able to chose not to use Systemd - so you've
not read very much of the debate or done much research. Here is a clue. Systemd
will never make it onto the non-linux ports, so there will always be at least
one other init available. You will always have a choice. And you could step up
to maintain more choice in Debian if you so desired rather than telling other
volunteers what to do. That is "the Debian way".

Perhaps you meant a moot point. A mute point would be very quiet indeed.
Lots of other people do care and have said so in this debate. I happen to be one
using a lot of the new features to great effect, on desktops. AND SERVERS.

You have to specific or you'll be accused of FUD. Hand waving and shouting does
not count.
_Can_ you give more information on how it is overcomplicated?
Or unnecessary?
Or crap?
If not... quit with the lies and the FUD.

Could you quote what "the Debian way" is? Are you a DD involved in defining that
elusive thing?
For _me_ one part of Debian has always to excell in making amazing technology
and code available for everyone. Times have changed in twenty years. The linux
kernel is not the same as it was in 1991. Computers are not used in the same
static ways. Debian has to support a huge range of very dynamic systems now, and
sysV just does not cut it. Sure it works _ok_ on static environments - but Debian
supports far more than static servers.

Debian was started in 1993. The internet... try about 1973. Yes Debian is half
the age of the internet. It is nearly as old as the Linux kernel, and not that much
younger than GNU, but your point is invalidated by lack of truth.

If you don't want udev, then try Debian Potato. It might make you happy and will
forever have sysvinit. And please stop with the FUD and other trolling.
